Black History Month 2023 Spotlight: Mary Kenner. Mary Kenner was an inventor who received 5 patents in her lifetime. She is known to hold the record for the most patents awarded to a Black woman by the U.S. government. 

“I am inspired by Mary Kenner, the inventor of the sanitary belt. Mary's improvement on existing period care options help revolutionize menstrual pad comfort while providing a better solution for women of her era. 

In 2021, I filed patents for my own innovative dispenser under the Femly brand. Femly™ revolutionizes period care access in restrooms by increasing access to organic pads and tampons through a touchless dispenser. With 63 laws requiring free period care in restrooms, our award-winning brand is changing the world.”

-Arion Long, CEO/Founder, femly
